Do you have a scientific (latin) name for those, because I've never heard any of those common names and conscidering the short supply of answers to your tread it seems noone else has eighter.

Is this the fish you are talking about?

It comes from Bengal but is called the Queen Botia.
If so, this fish is very peaceful, grows to between 5-6 inches, and loves to be kept in a large group, 3 being the minimum.
They are a great fish, but quite sensitive. Care is same as for other peaceful loach species.
